(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

Just wondering how feasible it is to buy a container and fill it with stuff in the UK and ship it out to Puglia? I rather thought I could use it as a workshop / store afterwards...but is it a runner??

I wondered if anyone could explain how to calculate the car tax in Italy, I know it is to do with horse power etc but is there a useful website like our own DVL  site which can allow one to find out how much tax is paid  on say....

Thank's  Badger, I was thinking of the pump input requirement. So if it was 4kw and running 8hours in 24 it would cost around E6.40 adding on circulation pumps etc the cost would be  around E7.50 a day which works out at around E53 a week.Once you add in your normal electricity costs it  sounds a bit too expensive for us. I'll sort out the damp proofing, draught exclusion and insulation first and see what money we have left. Could be we might be taking Edwina Curry's advice of wearing wooly hats ......   inside.

Roughly speaking, how much per kilowatt does it cost  (averaged out to include standing charges) for a 9kw three phase supply from ENEL- thinking about feeding a heat pump, sounds expensive to me.

Yep-same thing happened to us,(twice ) often better for us to fly to Rome and drive down to Puglia.

Sorry to hear of your situation Tess- it could have  happened to many of us, we too are planning to relocate and our house is barely habitable ... but there will be other English speakers in the area somewhere.I feel confident that things will improve as the spring weather comes in.In the meantime plan how you want the house and garden to look -keep your dream alive! ciao Billy&Martine (just off to catch our flight to Rome at 6am.)

Having emailed the chap at my banca he tells me the zerotondo is only for residents.....as expected. Hope they still offer it when we become residents!

I found Kevan's post very interesting, we have always had macs so there are a limited number of opportunities to watch UK TV .

Ciao, I have an account with Banca Intesa ( now part of Banca di Napoli). As a non-resident I pay around 200 Euros annually to service the account. It  includes internet banking (to some extent anyway). Careful use of cash points and payment options could reduce this I expect. I will be looking to change to a lower cost account in future, as regards the Zerotondo I know nothing, but I bet non residents don't qualify! However, I'll enquire at the banca later on this month. Regarding bill payments from the UK you can do better, try TORFX . Ciao for now Billy
